You have to have a setting to increase your shutter length.
You want to set your ISO to the lowest possible setting (50 or 100 on most digicams) and your shutter length to anywhere from 0.5-3 seconds (depends on the effect you want).
Having a low ISO means the "film" is less sensitive to light meaning you get less noise.
Having a high shutter time means that more lights comes through to hit the "film" and so you get a brighter picture.
Some digicams do not have direct shutter or iso settings (sony's in particular are bad for settings).
Of course is you set your camera to have extended shutter time, you must be certain to have the camera supported in a very stable platform - this usually means a tripod.
If you absolutely do not have a tripod (impromptu pics) then hold the camera in two hands, press your elbows into your ribs, breath out and hold your breath and take the picture to get the most stable picture possible. If using this method I suggest setting the camera to "rapid shot" or something equivalent as you will have to take many photos to select the one that was least blurry.

set the shot up, put your camera on the tripod, set the ISO to AUTO or something low to reduce noise and then set your exposure and apeture settings as needed. Usually if theres at least one main spotlamp or something, ~4 seconds will do. Setting a long exposure basically means the shutter stays open for the set amount of time, taking in all the light, you need a tripod beause you cant move the camera at all or else it will come out blurry
do NOT use flash, that is not how night shots are done
thats pretty much it in a nutshell, thats just a very simple explanation, me myself, im still a noob at night shots and still learning, theres just so many more factors to consider, but I dont have a nice SLR camera so there arent many settings I can change anyways
